A 32-ounce can of beer (right) works best when doing a beer can turkey, especially those over 12 pounds. With a smaller turkey, you may be able to use a can like Foster's. The 24-ounce cans (left) while as tall as the 32-ounce options don't have the width needed to balance most turkeys. Daniel Higgins/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin

Pour about half the beer into a pan you will use as a drip pan and to add more moisture to the grill. Punch two extra holes in the top the can and add a handful of seasoning. Daniel Higgins/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin
